reportedly been suspended after a video surfaced that appeared to show him saying over a loudspeaker that Israeli forces would “gas” and “slaughter” Palestinians in the Aida refugee camp in the West Bank.The event was filmed by a resident of Aida, 17-year-old Yazan Ikhlayel, on Thursday, October 29. A version of the video was published with English subtitles by Middle East Eye (MEE). The MEE translation of the officer’s words, later used by the Times of Israel, begins: “People of the Aida refugee camp, we are the occupation army. You throw stones, and we will hit you with gas until you all die – the children, the youth, the old people. You will all die; we won’t leave any of you alive.” According to the translation, he then says that a man is in custody, and that Israeli troops will “slaughter and kill him while you watch.” Speaking to Storyful, Ikhlayel said the translation was accurate. He said it was the first time he had heard the term “occupation army” being used by Israeli forces, and said the community was “shocked, because in the Second Intifada and after that they used to say ‘the defend army.’” He said the man who was arrested was “hit hard” before being released during the night. The Times of Israel reported on October 30 that a border police officer was suspended following the incident. “Border Police officials called the policeman’s actions ‘a grave incident,’ and vowed that the case would be handled ‘to the fullest extent of the law,’” the report said.
